Beneath The Mask Of Milan

After moving from England to Italy in search of a fresh start, Y/N Kensington struggles to find her place in a country that feels both beautiful and unfamiliar. With limited money and no connections, she spends weeks searching for work before finally landing a job at a cozy café tucked away in the heart of Milan. Shy, hardworking, and determined to build a new life, Y/N keeps her hair tied up in a neat bun and hides behind a pair of glasses as she serves customers every day. Her routine is simple until she notices one particular customer—a handsome, mysterious man who arrives at the exact same time every morning. He orders the same coffee, speaks little, and always leaves an unusually generous tip. Despite his cold demeanor, Y/N finds herself curious about him. There is something different about the way people react when he enters the café. Conversations quiet. Eyes avoid him. Yet no one ever explains why. As weeks turn into months, the stranger becomes a familiar part of her day. Y/N assumes he’s just a wealthy businessman—until the night everything changes. After closing the café one evening, Y/N finds herself caught in a dangerous situation. Just when she believes she won’t survive, the mysterious man appears out of nowhere, protecting her with a frightening level of skill and authority. Within moments, armed men are answering to him, and the truth she never expected is revealed: The man she’s been serving coffee to every day isn’t a businessman. He’s the most feared man in northern Italy. He’s the Don of the Italian Mafia. Now drawn into a world of secrets, power, danger, and loyalty, Y/N must decide whether to run from the man who saved her life—or trust the one person capable of protecting her. As enemies close in and feelings begin to grow, Y/N discovers that behind the Don’s ruthless reputation lies a man carrying scars of his own. But loving a mafia boss comes at a price, and soon she’ll learn that some hearts are just as dangerous as the criminal

Tit for tat

Y/n is the voice the world can’t escape—haunting, powerful, unforgettable. On stage, she’s unstoppable. Off stage, she hides a dangerous secret: her voice can control emotion, bending crowds and breaking minds if she lets it. The only place she’s ever felt safe is the ice rink—where the world goes quiet, and the past can’t reach her. But the past always finds a way. Years ago, Bucky Barnes destroyed her life. Not just as the Winter Soldier—but as the man who got close enough to earn her trust… and then used it against her. He was supposed to be her love story. Instead, he became her ruin. Now he’s back—no longer a weapon, but a man desperate to make amends. Too bad y/n doesn’t believe in forgiveness. As she rises higher in fame, her music becomes something sharper, darker—every lyric a message, every performance a strike against him. And Bucky? He doesn’t fight back. He takes it. Because some debts don’t get repaid. Caught between her past and present is Steve Rogers—the man who offers her something Bucky never could: stability, safety, and a future untouched by pain. But safe has never been the same as real. When a new threat tied to HYDRA resurfaces, Aria is forced into a choice she’s been avoiding: Keep running from the past… Or face the man who broke her—and decide if love and revenge can ever truly balance out. Because in a world of heroes and monsters, every action has a consequence. And every heart keeps score. Tit for tat.
